At lunchtime, Old Salem visitors wait patiently in line for waitstaff in old Moravian dress to serve old-time favorites, including pot roast, grilled bratwurst and our favorite, the beer cheese soup. In the evening, the open back porch comes into its own, the ambience turns more formal and romantic, and the menu more contemporary, with a fine list of cocktails.
